Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and either grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Spread the oats out on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 5 to 8 minutes until they’re nicely toasted and smell amazing. In a big bowl, combine the toasted oats with the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and allspice. Stir in the walnuts, apricots, and dates. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla until everything’s smooth. Pour this wet mixture over the dry ingredients and give it a quick stir—don’t overmix, just until everything comes together. Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
